Kolev, Kaloyan Writing Assignment One 9/8 The Sermon on the Mount 10/05/2015 Medieval European History The second most important teaching of The Sermon on the Mount is that God’s followers should not worry about food or clothing, because life is much more than that. Jesus assures the people that if they serve their Father, they will be able to “seek and find” everything they need to live a comfortable life (7:8).…
The Sermon on the Mount is a interesting piece of writing that gives out a lot of crazy ideas on how people should live. I can not see anyone who is human living by these laws at all. On top of that in the Sermon on the Mount Jesus said that if you fail to live by these rules even once you go to hell. I can not agree with this at…
The actual date of Jesus' birth is not known, but it appears that Jesus was born sometime between 7 and 5 B.C in Bethlehem. 25 December was fixed as his birth date more than 500 years after the event on purely hypothetical data. There is not one Jesus birth story in the gospels, but two. These gospels include Matthew and Luke, where they state that he was born of the virgin mother, Mary, without a male parent. However, Joseph the carpenter has been considered to be his father.…

I’m so grateful for this…
The Gospel according to Mark starts out with a man known as John the Baptist. John along with other townspeople went into the wilderness to repent their sins, and John baptizes everyone. During the baptisms, John told the townspeople that someone with greater power then him will be coming soon. Jesus then comes to the river to be baptized by John, and was recognized by the Holy Spirit of God as His son. After being baptized and being recognized, Jesus was sent into the wilderness for 40 days to be tested and tempted by satan.…
As a freshman, I struck a deal with myself: I would focus on Bible Quizzing and on the Academic Team until I graduated high school, and once I began college, I would focus solely on mathematics. This concentration would allow me to compete at a much higher level in both activities while only sacrificing a few years of studying mathematics. Fortunately, it has worked almost perfectly; I have Bible quizzed multiple times at the National level, have placed third and fourth at State while on the Academic Team, and have a strong chance to be on the first-place teams at Nationals and State this year. However, I was not capable of fully of keeping this deal; I cheated. I did so by digesting the occasional mathematics paper, by reading about and toiling…
Three years ago today, October 29, 2014, an amazing guy asked me to be his girlfriend in the church parking lot after choir by saying, "so, you wanna make this official. " Of course I said yes to that romantic gesture. But anyway this is just a huge thanks to him for actually wanting to date a high end horse girl and putting up with me for three years. He's all I have ever wanted and couldn't imagine my life without him. He does so much for me even when he's not here.…
This passage is a part of so called ‘Sermon on the Mount’ scene in which Jesus is educating his disciples and giving a new insight into issues, some of which were also covered in the Old Testament. The text stands out because it describes Jesus’ approach to reapplying the ‘Law’ in a new way and yet still shows that ‘his coming and work fulfilled the old prophecy’. The theme of Matthew’s gospel is based around the idea of Christocentricity through which the author portrays the correlation between the Old and New Testament. The two verses (17 and 18) conflict each other which may signify that Matthew’s Gospel has developed from Judaism and since the author highlights the validity of the ‘Law’, it might be assumed that the gospel was…
Pablo Guzman Mr. Niebur Scripture II 22 February 2016 Eschatological Sermon Matthews interpretation of the Eschatological Sermon deal with what eschatology is, which is the study of the end of human times when judgement day comes. From a biblical perspective, history is not circular, but linear. This means moving in God's mission for us is essential for a good after life with Him. Eschatology focuses on the redemptive work of Christ, which means that it is not as focused on the future than it is with the first coming of Christ and present day salvation and faith. The goal of eschatology, is not to foretell or satisfy human curiosity about future events, but rather to challenge the hearts of people today in the light of God's future…
In the passage Matthew 14:22 – 33, Matthew describes the scene in which the boat housing the disciples is being fiercely beaten by the waves in the ocean. The disciples have been alone, straining at the oars and struggling against the wind and the water for hours to keep afloat and they are tired. It isn’t until the fourth watch of the night that Jesus appears to them in the middle of the sea, walking on water. The disciples are fearful and Jesus dispels any doubts they may have had by using words of reassurance. Jesus says, “It is I. Don’t be afraid”.…
Psalm 23 and the Sermon on the Mount are familiar biblical messages to millions of Christians around the world. Written thousands of years ago, today they still provide practical and wise guidance to how we can live our lives.

I will show how we do well to listen and apply the information of both messages to our lives today. King David the writer of Psalm the 23rd chapter was pick by Jehovah God to lead his people, the Israelites.…
Peter then immediately changes the focus of his speech from the disciples and starts to proclaim Jesus. He attempts to make his listeners understand what in the past they may have not; he reminds them of how through his signs and wonders Jesus was attested to by God. Then he went on to confront them on the fact that they had been blind to this and put him to death by crucifying him, but that death could not keep him down because God raised him from the dead (v22-24). The apostle then again quotes from Scripture and reminds his audience what David had prophesied that the holy one would not be abandoned to the realm of the dead and therefore would experience no decay (v27-31). Since David had not risen from the dead himself it…
Henry Louis Gates Jr, an African American literature scholar, asserts, “No poet in the tradition was more crucial in the shaping of a distinct African- American poetic diction or voice than he, [Paul Laurence Dunbar]” (68). Dunbar’s ability to communicate the struggles of America through the black experience, with the assistance of Negro dialect, elevated him to become one of the most influential African American poets of his time. His success with written language allows today’s readers to experience and obtain knowledge about the life of an African American before and after the Civil War. The life and literature of Dunbar continue to galvanize students, educators, and critics today. Dunbar’s ancestral connection with slavery and interactions…
When crowds are large, it gets loud and harder to hear, but when Jesus is the speaker, people become silent and it’s effortless to hear, even still they do not listen to the wisdom of God. “Though hearing they do not hear or understand.” Matthew and mark are parables that are common with each other in the Gospels. They talk about Jesus in a large crowds and how people will not listen to Jesus even with silence. God put these parables out for us, so that we could understand his spiritual lessons through his stories in the bible.…
